One of the first things I wanted to do with the Golf I just bought was to install some fog-lights. I kinda got ‘spoiled’ to having fog lights on the 1997 Jetta I used to drive before it met its untimely death.
Volkswagen originally shipped fog-lights as an option. These optional fog-lights were built into the head lights. After pricing replacement headlights and realizing I’d have to spend more money on a switch and wiring loom to hook everything up, I was looking at spending way more than I wanted to, so I started looking for aftermarket fog-light kits. After a while of searching, I found a complete kit that fitted fog-lights into the lower portion of the bumper, and included the wiring loom, instructions, and an European market OEM head light switch.
There’s a difference between the US-market and Euro-market head light switches, is that the European market includes functions for city lights, front fog-lights, head lights, and rear fog-lights — another Euro-spec feature I’ll be adding later on.
I found and ordered the kit put together by ECS Tuning. As I mentioned earlier, the kit includes the fog lights for the lower grilles of the bumper, the wiring harness for aftermarket installation, and the European headlight switch.
I received my order earlier this week and thought this weekend would be a good chance to install them.
Below are a some of photos after installation. I did this “photo shoot” at my church, where I knew it’d be easy to take some good photos.
